• **Hello Monday** {7.31.2023}

    Happy Monday!!! We had a great last official weekend of the school year before the kiddos start back on Wednesday!  Today, Iā€™m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday, we had Open House at our school. I had to snap some pictures with my teacher friends! I couldn’t do it without them.  And one with my sweet sister n’ law, Cindy.  Joey brought Addison, and I was able to walk her around and meet her teacher. She was a little shy, but she said she is excited!  She’s ready for 1st grade!!  Right after school, I had a doctor’s appointment. Once I got home,…

    Hello Friends!! Happy Friday!! Ya’ll, I just started back to school/work, and I’ve been so busy! I know it will get easier, but I feel like I’ve not had myself together.  I mean, one day, I forgot my laptop at home. I have felt discombobulated. Ha!  Like the norm, Iā€™m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Since my week has been so busy, today is short and sweet.  We started off our Monday with a staff breakfast at our local college. It was so nice! Then, we had a busy day of unpacking and moving some teachers.  Tuesday, I had a county office meeting,…

  • **Destin Vacation 2023** {7.26.2023}

    Side note: So, since starting back to school/work this week, I obviously have lost track of the dates. I will plan to share my What’s up Wednesday post next week. So, be sure to come back here then for that. šŸ˜‰Ā  Today, I’m doing a recap of our most recent vacation. I’ll warn you, today’s post is long because I’m trying to do it all in one post. So, settle in and grab an iced coffee.Ā  We went to Miramar Beach, Florida which is just a couple miles from Destin, if you’re familiar.Ā  We left fairly early on a Wednesday morning headed south. If you’re familiar with Atlanta traffic, you…

  • **Hello Monday** {7.24.2023}

    Well friends, I am officially back at school today. We have 6 days of pre planning, and then the kids start August 1st. I always say it, but Summer really flew by! Addison is staying with my parents, so she’s still having a blast on summer time.  Today, Iā€™m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday morning, I had to go get bloodwork for my physical. Mom went with me, so she could occupy Addison.  After leaving, we headed to look for Addison some new shoes for school. We liked the black ones and teal ones.  We were all starving… I had fasted,…

    Hello Friends and Happy Monday!! I’m getting a little sad because our Summer is flying by and the end is quickly approaching.  Today, Iā€™m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday morning, my gal pal Shannon and I headed with our kids to Lake Winnie. Neither of us had been, so we didn’t really know what to expect. It was about an hour and half drive from our house. We arrived right when they opened to hopefully avoid the crowds and maybe beat the heat a little bit, if that was even possible. Ha!  The park has an amusement ride side, and then they…

  • **Myrtle Beach Vacation 2023** {7.5.2023}

    Hey Hey Friends!! It’s already Wednesday!! I can’t believe July 4th is already over. As a teacher, once the 4th of July is past, I feel like our summer is over! šŸ™  But today, I’m sharing a recap of our vacation in June.  We have camped at the same place, Myrtle Beach Travel Park, since I was about 2 years old. Growing up, we went every year and met lots of other families every summer at the same time. It was great growing up together!  So, since my parents still continue to go, we try to go with them at least one week. We left June 18th and headed that…

I feel like once July hits, summer is over!!! šŸ™  Today, Iā€™m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday night we started out celebrating Michael, Joey’s Dad for his birthday! There was lots of singing and laughing.  Addison spent the night with Adalynn after the party Friday night. So, Saturday morning, I worked on some organizing, cleaning, and I ran to the grocery store before going to pick her up.  Joey improvised with a lounge chair laying in the sun. It was cracking me up. And, it was…
